Answer / nitin khatana
because the line in traction system are very long distances so there is voltage drop across line to boost up this voltage we connect an autotransformer which is placed at some distances from other for compensate this voltage drop we used transformer.

Answer / shripad
Booster transformers are used in electric railway AC catenary feeders to collect the return current from the rails and the earth to the return conductor. ... Booster transformers are used to eliminate the stray currents and the disturbances, obliging the return current to flow to the return conductor.

What will be the effect of in HT XLPE 220 KV cable when one side of the Armour/cable ends are not grounded. Will there is difference between 3-phase voltages? like: if A. Both End of Cable grounded Phase Voltages:- V1=219 KV, v2=220 Kv, v3=220 KV. B. One End is grounded other is not: than Impact on Phase Voltages:- V1= KV, v2= Kv, v3= KV. Remain same or unchanged??
